Flight to edge of space left me harrassed and depressed

Vietnamese-American astronaut Amanda Nguyen opened up about experiencing depression following a "tsunami of harassment" after her Blue Origin spaceflight in April 2025, the first all-female space trip since 1963. The 34-year-old activist described how the overwhelming backlash and misogyny buried her dreams. Despite the challenges, Nguyen, known for her civil rights work, shared that the support from well-wishers has been a source of strength, emphasizing the positive impact of the flight on her women's health research and advocacy efforts.
